Scanning Tips
Make sure that the screen orientation lock setting of your OS is not active
Make sure you have a stable internet connection
Make sure that no other tires are visible in the scan, especially no tires should be directly next to or on top of each other
The recording should not contain anything else than the tire tread
The camera must keep the focus on the tire while moving across the tire
You can also use the Volume Down button of the device to start (and stop) the recording, if you can’t see the screen
